Butyric Acid and Butter: Benefits, Uses, and Effects on cardiac health and arteriosclerosis.
What Is Butyric Acid and Butter?
Our body doesn’t digest and absorb fiber like it does other nutrients. Instead, our digestive system uses the macronutrient as food to fuel the healthy microorganisms living in our microbiome. Butyric Acid and Butter is a byproduct of their dining.?
There is a genetic component to circulating butyrate levels as well, but it’s likely that the amounts are more closely associated with our diet.
Butyric Acid and Butter is also found in animal- and plant-based food products in small amounts, compared to what is in our gut.
Butter, for example, is a good source of dietary butyrate, but features only a fraction of what your body manufactures naturally.
The best way to get butyric acid and Butter, therefore, may be by increasing your intake of dietary fiber.
Butyric Acid and Butter Can Reduce Your Heart Disease Risk
Saturated fats often get a bad rap. Claims over the last 30 years have falsely linked fat and saturated fats to an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, and high cholesterol Dr. Qaisar Ahmed MD, DHMS. But that’s not true… Fat is actually vital to a healthy diet, and the right types of saturated fats can even provide important health benefits. For thousands of years, the ancient traditions of Arabs, Persians and there herbal/Ayurvedic medicine specialists (doctors) have referred to a particular saturated fat as “liquid gold” with incredible healing powers.It is the most common cooking oil in Arab countries, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, India, China and Russia; it is known for its deliciously sweet flavor.I was even shocked when I first learned from my experiments that daisee ghee (saturated fat) can even reduce our risk of heart disease.Daisee ghee is clarified butter.
In my (Dr. Qaisar Ahmed) experiments on myself, my family members and some patients human I found that the regular consumption of ghee could lower our risk of cardiovascular disease, improves metabolism, improve the appearance of skin, reducing pruritis (itching), scaling, and erythema (redness), the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in daisee ghee can also reduce inflammation, improves digestion, remarkably decreased serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), which are all factors for an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.
A preliminary study published in the Journal of Dairy & Bioscience also showed that high doses of medicated ghee helped to lower serum cholesterol, cholesterol esters, triglycerides, and phospholipids in patients with psoriasis, which supports a decreased risk of developing heart disease.
A prevalent study on ghee, published by the journal Ayu, also supported the health benefits of ghee. Contrary to recent beliefs regarding the health effects of all fats, researchers from Ohio State University and South Dakota State University found that 10% dietary ghee did not increase the serum total cholesterol levels or the risk of heart disease in rats. The study also observed that ghee did not raise lipid peroxidation processes, which are linked to a high risk of cardiovascular disease.
During my study I (Dr. Qaisar Ahmed) found that vegetable ghee or cocking oils contains >40% trans fats and the rise in coronary artery disease cases in Asian (Pakistan, Afghanistan) cultures that consume mostly vegetable ghee.
Ghee is also pure butterfat and can be used for cooking at higher temperatures, with a smoke point of 485 degrees Fahrenheit.
Daisee Ghee, Butter or Butyrate (Butyric Acid) also has several other health benefits like: 
- Aid digestion.
- Enhance memory and intelligence.
- Treat anemia, blood disorders, and chronic fevers.
- Good for nervous system (peripheral and central too).
- Daisee ghee has also high in butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that inhibits cancer growth and contains antiviral properties.
- Butyric acid can also prevent and reverse the effects of weight gain.
- Butyrate is the preferred energy source for colon cells and meets a significant portion of their fuel needs.
- Butyric acid help ease the symptoms of IBS and Crohn’s disease.
- Patients with Crohn’s disease was improved faster after they start taking meals prepared in daisee ghee.
- Patients who were tacking meals/food prepared with/in daisee ghee had slower blood sugar absorption were improved insulin sensitivity, as well as a lower risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes. There are lot of evidence indicating that people with type 2 diabetes have lower amounts of butyric acid in their gut than non-diabetics.
That said, considering that butyric acid is a byproduct of fiber, and that fiber intake is associated with a host of health benefits (while also being the best way to increase butyrate in the gut), it is likely that boosting our butyric acid intake will lead to similar benefits.
The Best Sources of Butyric Acid and Butter
The best source of butyric acid is:
- Butter.
- Daisee Ghee (a clarified butter commonly used in Asian cooking).
- Cow’s milk.
- Sheep’s milk.
- Goat’s milk.
- Parmesan cheese.
- Red meat.
- Vegetable oil.
As I mentioned, boosting your fiber intake can help ramp up butyrate production in your gut. Therefore, increasing the number of resistant starches (also called prebiotics) in your diet might be the best way to increase butyric acid.
Foods that stimulate SCFA production include:
- Artichokes.
- Garlic.
- Onions.
- Asparagus.
- Potato.
- Bananas.
- Apples.
- Apricots.
- Oats.
- Beans.
